Does anyone remember a chocolate bar called Tiffin. It had small bits of biscuit in the chocolate and I think it had raisins in as well.

Don't know who made it, probably Rowntree, I am sure it wasn't Cadbury.

Candlelightx

Cadbury still make and sell it now. We get it in our shop.

Cocketts

I really miss Flex hair shampoo and conditioner - the smell was divine.

I also remember the Frys Five Centres although i wasnt that keen on them. I also remember Peanut Treets they were also in bags of Revels befote thry had yo take then out because of nut allergy just like the coconut ones that were replaced by coffee ones.
